Elton John's, "Candle In The Wind"
Better Lyrics:
It seems to me that you lived your life
With a load of taco wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the beans kicked in
And I would have liked to help you
But I couldn’t take the smell
I hope you go to Heaven
Cause you’ll sure blow up in Hell!
With a load of taco wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the beans kicked in
And I would have liked to help you
But I couldn’t take the smell
I hope you go to Heaven
Cause you’ll sure blow up in Hell!
Original Lyrics:
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Elton John's, "I'm Still Standing"
Better Lyrics:
I smoke salmon after all this brine
Picking up the pieces of my lox with bagels on my mind
I smoke salmon yeah yeah yeah
I smoke salmon yeah yeah yeah
Picking up the pieces of my lox with bagels on my mind
I smoke salmon yeah yeah yeah
I smoke salmon yeah yeah yeah
Original Lyrics:
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Elton John's, "Rocketman"
Better Lyrics:
And I'm picking 83, and you say 5
Then I go 12 and you just stick with 5
But I come up with 28.4, oh, no no no
That's a NumberWang
NumberWang
And it's now time to rotate the board
Then I go 12 and you just stick with 5
But I come up with 28.4, oh, no no no
That's a NumberWang
NumberWang
And it's now time to rotate the board
Original Lyrics:
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh, no no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh, no no no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone
